Do deep work without distractions

qdo (queue do) removes trade off between productivity and communication
by allowing you to reserve time slots for deep focused work without
interruption and allowing your team members to create tasks for you or
ask you for help without distracting you.

How it works

/qdo start 40

Turns on do not disturb mode (dnd) for 40 mins
thus allowing you to focus on your work.

/qdo @John please update the timesheet

While you’re concentrated on your task, your team members can ask you something
or create a task for you without interrupting you - the notification and actual message/task for you will be delayed until your
reserved time slot is finished. However, they will receive immediate response when your reserved time slot ends,
so they will know when you will be available and they can plan their work accordingly.
And you will be able to check the questions or tasks once your deep work time slot ends.
Something is really, really urgent? Messages prefixed with ! will interrupt your colleague's dnd mode and get their attention immediately.

Check your tasks

After your dnd time is up, qdo bot notifies you if you received any tasks while
you were focused on your work so you can reach your colleagues and help them or finish other small
tasks

/qdo stats

Still not sure that qdo will improve your productivity AND your team’s communication?
You can check how many effective hours of focused work you had for a day and the side tasks you finished in between.

Improve productivity

Team members can reserve time slots for deep focused work without interruption which is a key to doing high quality work.

Boost communication

Team members will know when others will be available to talk/help etc. and everyone
can plan their activities accordingly.

Get in flow

Your day will look like this:
1. Reserve time slot for focused work
(say 40 minutes)
2. No notifications will come to you in this period
3. If you need someone else help or attention you can ask them or create a task for them
without interrupting their reserved time slot.
4. Once 40 minutes are up you can check if someone else created
a task for you
5. Reserve another time slot for focused work
